Ernie BallEarthwood Silk and Steel Regular 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 13-56 Gauge

Worked as expected.

Son una excelente opción, se las puse a mi Fender Malibu para que pueda tener un sonido más cálido y más acústico, el recubrimiento de seda que tienen definitivamente pone al nivel de Folk los instrumentos.Nota: al ser cuerdas dirigidas para guitarras Folk y 3/4, no estoy seguro que puedan servir para las Dreadnought o Jumbo ya que son más cortas de lo que comúnmente son, para que consideren si realmente les puede servir.

Good value

On the fingers ...good sound..not a performer..so small.and easy does me..put on my folk guitars

I've been playing guitar since I was a kid, and then moved on to bass guitar for a while and played in a folk band. Now I'm getting back into guitar in my retirement so I wanted something that would save my fingers until I could build up some callouses. Actually I didn't know these sort of strings even existed until I started looking around on Amazon for a set of a strings for a second hand guitar I bought (Washburn, love it).Each string is nicely packed and tells you which string, and the gauge of each string. Nice touch! Strings went on easy enough, no drama there. I used to 10-50 extra light.Having played with them a bit, the lower four wound strings feel like classical guitar strings. They are definitely softer and easier on the hands. The highest two strings are unwound, and feel softer too, but maybe because my hand isn't recoiling from the strings as much?Playing the guitar both unplugged and through an amp, the strings are definitely more mellow and laid back. They don't ring out like other strings. They also seem to be slightly lower tension than my other strings, so the neck bends a little straighter with these, so I can get fret buzz off them if I play too hard. So if I replace these strings I might go up to the .11 gauge strings. Washburn recommends .12-.52 but these strings jump from .10 to .11 to .13 (no .12 on the first string). Certainly not a deal breaker but strange they don't offer a .12 gauge version.These strings are definitely noisier than the coated strings I took off the guitar. You can definitely hear your fingers squeaking around.So my overall thoughts are, these are very good strings for someone who is a beginner or coming back to guitar and want a softer version until they build up calluses. Others might just like the classical guitar feel of them and willing to give up a bit of the top end "ring", or the quietness of a coated string, to have the features of this string.Am I glad I made the purchase? Yes, absolutely, I can play longer now while I build up calluses. Would I buy them again? Well, I think I would! I'm willing to give up some sonic details for a softer string. I'll probably try to the next gauge up, getting the best of both worlds, a higher gauge and a softer string! Plus, these strings are fairly inexpensive, which seals the deal!
